Warning

(1) Only some PDF heading number patterns are supported. The experimental heuristic algorithm automatically detects headings. The table of content is ignored. Standard patterns like "1.1 1.2.1.." and "1. A. 1. B.." are supported. Only some PDF structures are supported. The table cell recognition for PDF is an experimental feature.
